My sunday school teacher, Mr. Hooper, says that athiests (bless their souls in the name of the one and only all mighty Lord) say that Christians are deluded because they can't prove that God exists but really they are deluded because they can't prove that God doesn't... then I asked my Uncle Jimmy about it and he said that Athiests and Christians are equally deluded because neither of them can conclusively prove or disprove any of the involved premises... he says that the only logical stance on the subject is agnosticism...

I think Uncle Jimmy is going to hell because he doesn't believe in God. I'm not going to buy him a christmas present this year.

I am a christian woman. I also come from a christian family. My brother brought his girlfriend and her daughters over my house. The oldest daughter brought a book of either wiccan or witchcraft, I can't tell the difference but it gave me the creeps. I have an open mind, but I just got creeped out. Am I overreacting, or should I say something to my brother about this?

Ok, heres the deal, my mother has everything that you can think of, she don't ask for anything or even hint at anything for that matter, the only thing that she collects is candle holders, but if you seen her house you wouldn't get her anymore..

There's a transplant that deaf people get to be able to hear things, but I can't remember what it's called. Anyone know by chance?

Buddhisms they have Gods, Christianities they have God, one of them is"Three in one", Muslims they have God, people worshipping statues, planets, etc... they call theirs Gods. Tell me, what do you mean by God.

I'm living in a house that's located in a fairly new subdivision (5 years old). None of the online maps have my street listed, in fact, the local map published by the Sheriff Dept still does not include it. What's the best way to have the map services recognize a new street in immediately?

Every other time there is islam fundamentalism i'ts all about zionisms, christian pigs and many other derogatory names. We fail to understand which type of God this guys do believe in.
I am sorry if i sound a little bit radical but more often than not we hear about suicide bombing which doesnt jusify religion. We all know that regardless of religious affiliation, its a universal law that taking other peoples lives is evil and wrong.
Pliz help me understand.

Which religions can easily be proved false?

From an objective standpoint, which religions can be proved false. Could anyone who responds not give one line answers.

Example response:
1. Norse Mythology: There was a world serpent that was wrapped around the Earth several times that Thor would fish for with an Ox's head.

From all of the submarines, and boats in the world it seems unlikely that such a massive beast would go unnoticed.

2. Greek Mythology: Gods lived in a palace on Mount Olympus built by Hephaestus with large walls around the palace.

There is no palace on top of Mount Olympus.

3. Scientology:
- costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to learn advanced doctrines.
- Xenu used trillions of Douglas DC-7s?
- Xenu brought Trillions of frozen aliens to Earth just to kill them

You go to church every sunday

I have to do a PowerPoint presentation for my college course and thought I’d try something different. Do you think it would be distracting or inappropriate to have beautiful nature photos as the background for my presentation??

I'm interested in languages and want to go into linguistics however I really don't want to live a...modest lifestyle. I've heard that you can be a lecturer or a UN translator or a million other things in international relations. Also, what colleges or university would be best for majoring in linguistics?

I went to a football game-the Army/Navy game to be exact and even though there were a lot of male cadets-and I mean a lot, none of them hit on me-and I know I'm not ugly. Half of the time I couldn' t stare at them in the eye because I didn't want them to think I was some naive chick and think I was too deperate. Well, why even though so many males around-I mean a lot, not even one came up to me, or did anything to make notice him-to show a sing of interest? I looked cute, and I wasn't sleezy either.

You guys get ridiculed on this site constantly and have to be aware by now that nobody takes you seriously when you spout scripture and answer questions with "find jesus" or "talk to a religious person"--you never give a straight answer to hard questions and get it shoved in your faces daily that you appear to lack substance--Doesn't this bother you? Why don't you alter your behavior and either change the way you talk to people or be more selective of which questions you answer? I have seen plenty of Christians on here begging their peers to stop preaching and pushing people away, and everybody answers with "agreed, thanks for the reminder" and then an hour later they are right back to doing what they were before--you wonder why people are so harsh towards you, but you ignore constructive criticism! Do you like the current image that christians are presenting to the world? nobody else does! Are you trying to turn your religion into a joke?

I read this blasphemy the other day...

"A 1991 Gallup survey found that college graduates were less than half as likely to believe in creationism as those lacking a high school diploma. Likewise, those with an income greater than $50,000 per year were half as likely to be creationists as those with an income under $20,000. In 1997 Gallup reported that only 5 percent of scientists believed in creationism"

My sunday school teacher, Mr. Hooper, said that the devil made the people who conducted the poll change the answers to make us Christians look bad.

Trying this in another forum:

In all seriousness, this issue came up tonight. My sister was complaining that she couldn't understand why African-Americans get so distraught over being called (the N-word). She really couldn't understand why - she had apparently looked it up & found that it meant "tree stump." No joke. Obviously she was looking at the wrong word. But she's been all this time thinking that's what it meant.

Well, just to prove my point that her definition was wrong, and that it meant "ignorant" or "stupid," I decided to search the various online dictionaries.

Suprise! None of them supported my definition! I know that Webster's defined it that way when I was in high school - which is why I always hated it as a racial connotation.

My problem is this: when did the definition change from "ignorant/stupid/unintelligent... to "a black person/a member of any dark-skinned race/a member of a socially disadvantaged class"??

What in the world did I miss? And WHEN??
